Bird's Foot Violet Plants
This product is rated 5.0 of 5.0 stars.
It has received 5 reviews.
Description
Bird's Foot Violet, also known as Viola Pedata, matures up to 3" inches in height. It has beautiful petals filled with a brilliant orange center. The leaves are shaped like bird's feet, thus the name.
Bird's Foot Violet Can Thrive In Full Sun
These particular ones are best grown in direct sun to partial shade. The plants are more resistant than the other flower family in numerous ways. However, Birds Foot Violet is well worth the hassle! The soil needed for these specific types of them must be very well-drained. If the soil is not well-drained, it has a higher potential to wither away or rot. They must be free of weeds and other aggressive growing types to prevent overgrowth. Although it is a short-lived perennial, it will self-seed as it becomes ready. These are astounding; you will have gorgeous flowers that bloom each year!
Bird's Foot Violet Blooms In A Range Of Vibrant Colors
It is known for its pretty purple blooms, which range from dark purple to light purple to white and bloom mid-to-late spring and sometimes fall. The coppery seeds found several inches from the mother plant are often attractants, and the ants carry them to their nests.
Bird's Foot Violet Loves Dry Places
It is commonly found in dry, upland sites, often in Eastern North America, the Midwest, and southern parts of the United States. It is a low-lying perennial that tends to clump together. It blooms from April to June and sometimes thrives again in the fall. It grows wild and is used as a ground cover by homeowners.
Birds Foot Violet is an Excellent Source of Ground Coverage
They are high for ground coverings because they are spread by rhizomes, which stem under the ground and grow sideways; these rhizomes can send up new stems, which make new plants. The delicate flower leaves have a definite separation between them. The petals range from pale to dark with an orange center.
The Bird Foot Violet appears flat and 1-1 ½ inches long. Its flower leaves are roughly ¾ to 2 inches long. The flower has five petals; often, all the leaves are the same color, ranging from light to dark, and turn white toward the center of the flower.
However, the two upper petals are sometimes dark, and the lower three are light blue. The soil tends to be dry; these flowers typically do well in sandy or slightly rocky soils. These flowers can develop crown rot if the ground isn't bare and doesn't drain well. Weeds can also overtake them, so they must be kept in a weed-free area.
